Planning a Promotional Campaign

A promotion works when it has a reason, a boundary and a plan for how it will be seen more than once.

Give it a reason

A promotion needs a stated occasion: a launch, a season, a milestone or a genuine capacity change. Discounts without a reason train people to wait.

Set the boundary

Define the start, the end and exactly what is included. Ambiguity in an offer creates queries rather than sales.

Plan the repetition

Most people miss the first announcement. Plan announcement, reminder and closing messages from the start rather than improvising them.

Prepare the answers

Write your responses to the three most likely questions before the promotion opens. It makes the response feel considered.

Decide how you will judge it

Choose a measure before you launch: enquiries, bookings, or sign-ups. Judging afterwards on a feeling is not a review.

Where to take this next

If you would like this applied to your own business rather than read in the abstract, the marketing packages cover reviews, campaign planning, content plans and full strategies as fixed-scope pieces of work.
